Despite evidence supporting exercise interventions, structured programs for women aged ≥75 years with CLBP remain limited.ObjectiveTo evaluate the effects of the Body Awareness-Stability-Enhancement (BASE) program on physical fitness, pain-related outcomes, and exploratory biomarkers in rural late-older women with CLBP.MethodsTwenty women aged ≥75 years with CLBP were randomized to either the BASE training group (n = 10) or a passive control group (n = 10). This pilot randomized controlled trial, originally conducted as part of a doctoral dissertation, used a small convenience sample. The 12-week BASE program comprised progressive stages emphasizing body awareness, core stability, and functional enhancement. Outcomes included body composition, physical fitness (strength, balance, mobility, and flexibility), pain and disability (VAS and ODI), and biomarkers (hs-CRP and VEGF).ResultsThe BASE program improved skeletal muscle mass and appendicular skeletal muscle index (both p < .001), handgrip strength (p = .002, .012), mobility (timed up-and-go: p = .001; 4-meter walk: p = .001), and flexibility (sit-and-reach: p < .001). Pain (VAS, p = .007) and disability (ODI, p = .037) decreased significantly. hs-CRP declined (p = .024), while VEGF increased (p = .011).ConclusionThe BASE program was associated with improved physical function and reduced pain in rural women aged ≥75 years with CLBP.

Baduanjin, a traditional mind-body exercise involving slow, coordinated movements and breathing control, has been suggested to improve neuromuscular function. This randomized controlled trial investigated the effects of adding face-to-face and online Baduanjin to structured exercise therapy on pain, function, balance, and kinesiophobia in individuals with knee OA.MethodsSixty-six participants aged 40-70 years with radiographic knee OA (Kellgren-Lawrence grade II-III) were randomly assigned to three groups: structured exercise plus face-to-face Baduanjin, structured exercise plus online Baduanjin, or structured exercise alone. Interventions were performed three times weekly for 12 weeks. Outcomes were assessed at baseline, week 6, and week 12 using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Timed Up and Go Test, Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia, and 30-Second Sit-to-Stand Test.ResultsBoth Baduanjin groups showed significant improvements in VAS, WOMAC, BBS, Timed Up and Go, kinesiophobia, and sit-to-stand performance at weeks 6 and 12 (p < 0.05).

Manual therapy techniques including neural mobilization, Mulligan, and Maitland mobilization are commonly used to relieve pain and improve upper limb function, but their relative usefulness is unknown.ObjectiveTo compare between three manual therapy approaches (radial nerve mobilization, Mulligan and Maitland mobilization) to find their effectiveness when they were added to eccentric exercises in patients with tennis elbow. Study Design: Single-blinded, randomized, controlled trial.MethodsForty-five tennis elbow participants were randomly allocated into three groups (n = 15 each): Group A received radial nerve neural mobilization, Group B received Mulligan mobilization (MWM), and Group C received Maitland mobilization. Interventions were implemented over six weeks. Pain intensity, Pressure Pain Threshold (PPT), functional disability, and hand grip strength were measured before and after intervention.ResultsBetween-group comparison showed no statistically significant differences in post-treatment scores for Pain intensity (p = 0.10), PPT (p = 0.45), functional disability (p = 0.16), and grip strength (p = 0.75). However, the radial nerve neural mobilization group had a greater mean reduction in pain intensity (Pre- post: 4.6-1.8) and improved grip strength (Pre-post:26.65-31.14 kg) compared to the other groups; this difference is numerically greater but statistically insignificant.ConclusionsMaitland, Mulligan, and neural mobilization approaches are effective in reducing pain and enhancing upper limb function in patients with tennis elbow.

Computed tomography (CT) is considered the gold standard for assessing skeletal muscle mass. However, pediatric reference values for abdominal skeletal muscle area (aSMA) at lumbar vertebral levels remain limited and vary among populations.ObjectiveTo establish age- and sex-specific reference values and percentile curves for aSMA, including psoas muscle area (PMA), paraspinal muscle area (PSMA), and total skeletal muscle area (TSMA), at L3 vertebral body, L3-L4 and L4-L5 intervertebral disc levels in Turkish children.MethodsThis retrospective study included 2166 Turkish children aged 0-18 years who underwent abdominal CT scans for acute indications. aSMA measurements were obtained at three lumbar levels, and percentile curves were calculated using the Lambda-Mu-Sigma method. SD intervals of ±2 were determined for each parameter. Children with chronic diseases or abnormal muscle morphology were excluded.ResultsOf the participants, 62.1% were boys and 37.9% were girls, with a median age of 10 years (IQR: 5-15). Age- and sex-specific percentile values (3rd-97th) and ±2 SD ranges were established for PMA, PSMA, and TSMA. At the L3-L4 intervertebral disc level, the PMA (50th percentile) ranged from 3.3-15.4 cm² in girls and 3.3-27.2 cm² in boys. Comparative analysis with other populations showed significant inter-population differences.ConclusionWe establish level-specific (L3, L3-L4, L4-L5) normative charts-3rd-97th percentiles and ±2 SD limits-for PMA, PSMA, and TSMA in Turkish children aged 0-18 years, providing population-specific benchmarks that standardize abdominal skeletal muscle assessment and support early identification of low muscle area.","PeriodicalId":15129,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Back and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation","volume":" ","pages":"951-966"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145809811","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
